I have quite a bit of info regarding William Tong b. 1756 to present. However, the info on his parentage is doubtful, I would be interested if anyone else has some of the same information.

Good Hunting,
Peggy

Interesting record on Friendship. what are your sources of his marriage??? My information on Friendship is scant, but he died young about 26. He was the son of Henry and Mary (Ravin) and was christened at St. Clements Danes in London in 1624, some siblings were also christened there. These records I found on the LDS website. Somewhere I have a fairly detailed paper written on him by Harry Wright Newman that I got from the Charles County Community College in the genealogy collection of the genealogical society.

I descend from Thomas Tongue Sr.(1746-1822) of Anne Arundel County, he was married to Elizabeth Roberts and they are burried at St. James Church in Tracy's Landing.

His son, Thomas Jr.(1774-1826) was married to Ann Harrison daughter of Benjamin Harrison. This is why I found your marriage for Friendship interesting. The Harrisons were a well know Quaker family that lived at Holly Hill in southern most AA County.

I have never proven lineage about Thomas Sr., but I believe his father was James and before that was Thomas. Noone has shown me anything concrete and what I have is full of mistakes and confusion. But most researching the line believe it started with Friendship.

Not sure that this helps, I've been more focused on the more recent generations and haven't spent a lot of time on this part of the line at all in years. And we did visit the London churches associated with the Tongues years ago. Henry and Mary were married in St. Bartholmew the Less in London in 1617. But with no records to prove the relation I've moved on to other lines. Maybe someday I will work on that one.

Most of my info on the early Tongue families comes from the two editions of the books by Herald Stout. He is fairly careful about stating what he thinks he knows, and what are his educated guesses. Friendship had a posthumous son Friendship, it seems. Friendship Jr. is given as "possibly the father of William." William is the "most likely father of John." William and all the rest are most likely the children of John (although I have also seen it suggested that the father's name is really a James, at present I think John is more likely, given tax records and so on).

Thanks so much for the reference to the IGI. The last time I tried it for Tongues, either the relevant registers had not yet been transcribed, or I just totally missed them somehow....

I have long felt that Friendship's line and the line of the first Thomas Tongue are closely connected, but have no proof. Stein's history of Calvert County names the Thomas who was transported in 1650 as a son of Friendship, but this seems unlikely to me. There is a Thomas Tongue who has a lot of children baptized in the same church as Henry's children back in London, I see in the IGI, who seems to be a bit older. But even so, there is a gap between the early Thomas Tongues and the ones in your line.

I agree with you that the Thomas who married Elizabeth Roberts was most likely the son of James, who was the son of another Thomas Tongue. The probate record is very hard to interpret---too many Thomases, at the very least. I more or less gave up on figuring out if or how I was cousins with descendants of Thomas & Elizabeth (my ancestor is Eleanor Tongue who married Daniel Rankin), although it does seem very likely to me still that all are connected somehow or other.

Responding to your query re the parents of Robert Wiggins, father of
Stephen H. Wiggins, he was born (ca. 1780 by census records) in Kent
Co., Md. and we have this from Stephen Wiggins' black family notebook.

We do not know who his father was, but Robert was listed in the early
censuses as living in Kent Co., Del. or Md., near the Delaware state
line. Duck Creek Hundred. He moved into Penn. by mid 1800-1810, by about
1807.
In the Delaware, Kent Co. Willbook N-217 of Chas. Wiggins, a Robert
Wiggins is listed as an heir along with Sarah & Sam'l. Foreacres, Eliz.
and Benj. Holliday, Deborah Sparks, wife of Lambert. Notably, Charles in
his will, freed his slaves as did many Quakers before 1810. Whether
Charles was an uncle or what, we do not know.
As Robert was Quaker, he might appear in Quaker records in the
Annapolis, Md., Historical Soc., which keeps some Quaker records there,
the other site being Swarthmore College, where we find the children of
Robert and Hannah Wiggins being listed. But nothing on his ancestry.
There is also a Matthew Wiggins listed with Charles Wiggins in Delaware,
Kent Co. There is a Delaware connection.
As Robert was a Quaker he refused to fight in the War of 1812 and had
some kind of legal penalty listed against him.
Many of Robert's children moved West and we have lost track of all but
Stephen and Mercy Wiggins(Bureau Co., IL).

Robert was born and raised in Maryland. Its probable that he was the
son of Charles Wiggins, formerly of New Castle CO DEL who purchased
property in Kent Co MD, straddling the Delaware border, from Daniel Thomas
Massey in the 1780s. This Charles Wiggins was married to Sarah Simkins and
died in Oct. 1798. His will was probated in Kent Co Del listing a Robert
Wiggins as an heir. My ROBERT WIGGINS moved to Lancaster Co PA in 1807
and located in Colerain Twsp. and then Martic Tswp. He married Hannah
Hambleton around 1809. He died 31 Oct 1842. He and Hannah had atleast
11 children:
Mercy Ann m. Joseph Cosner,
James, Stephen m. Elizabeth Bowman,
Rachel, David, Sarah,
Elizabeth m. Clark Kinsey,
Martha Ann, Hannah, Lydia, and Elias.

Robert Wiggins (ca 1784-1842) married Hannah Hambleton (1781-1870) ca
1807. Hannah was the daughter of James Hambleton and Elizabeth Paxson.
Robert and Hannah had 10 children: Mercy Ann (1809), James (1811),
Stephen (1812-1895), Rachel (1813), David (1815), Sarah (1817),
Elizabeth (1818), Martha Ann (1820), Hannah (1821) and Lydia (1825).
They also raised Elias Hambleton (1801-1872).
Could find no connection to your Wiggins/Hambleton marriage. Mahala is
not listed in book on descendants of James Hambleton.

Possibly more children than those listed

John was a farmer. He was related to William and Catherine Stage who were both born around 1788 in Pennsylvania. William was located in Luzerne County in 1830 and 1840. He made application for bounty land as he served in the 45th Pennsylvania Militia in the War of 1812. John was probably born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He married Arseneth Patrick. The family first lived in Lyme, Huron County, when coming to Ohio as did William and Catherine.

1900 - moved to CA - living in Kings, Mariposa, Butler, and Alameda Co.
Took nurses training in San Francisco.
Lived 33 years in Oakland
1946 - moved to Sky Ranch, Lower Lake, Ca
Hobbies: china and genealogy

1900 Census - possibly same person??
John Aukamp boarding with Steele,

both parents born in Germany
immigrated to US in 1834 (same year as Augusta)
--------------------

My husband is a descendant of John Louis/Lewis Aukamp (1820- 1904) and Maria Louisa East (1821-1889). My research in Lancaster County, PA has shown:

.John Lewis Aukamp petitioned for naturalization in 1852. He stated that he came into the U.S. in the year 1834, at the age of 14 years, and was a native of Prussia (Germany).

.Henry Augustus Aukamp, also from Prussia, petitioned for naturalization in 1848, however, John Lewis was the older of the two.

.They are quite possibly brothers. I have not found the names of their parents.

.John Lewis was a confectioner (candy maker) in Lancaster, PA (and probably also lived in Reading, PA, where some of his 14 children were born). Sometime after the Civil War, he owned a 30 acre farm in Providence Township, Lancaster County.

.Henry Augustus was a house carpenter, lived in Lancaster, PA, and was married to Elizabeth (who might be a sister of Maria Louisa East). They had at least 7 children.

.It gets confusing from here, because several children of these two couples had the same names and were close in age. Both Aukamp couples had a Daniel, an Elizabeth, a Mary L., a George, and a Henry/Harry Augustus.

.My husband's Aukamp line descends through "Lewis" and "Louisa"'s 11th child, Anna M. Aukamp (1862-1949), who married George H. Smith; but, he is also related through their 13th child, George McClellan Aukamp (1864-1967), who married Anna Catharine Smith, George H. Smith's sister.

John was bapt'd. "Johan Ludvig" in Dielingen Evang. Luth. Church, Westphalia, by his mother, Henrietta Aukamp, nee'?, b. ca. 1795, Holland, and died in the 1870's in Lancaster City, PA, bu.? (prob. in Lancaster), and Unk. Aukamp.
